Dusk Above the Horizon
The distance between us
"This will enter the rainy season, do not forget to provide wind oil and drugs like Antangin, you are easy to flu, do not forget to ask Rodiah to buy you an inhaler or fresh care"
line of sentences containing the message delivered by Rudi at dusk will get out of his car, the girl stopped her hand movements when she wanted to open the car door handle where she was.
Dusk swallowed his saliva, trying to speak with his hoarse voice because of the rest of his cries earlier.
"Does anyone remember?"
Said Dusk quietly without intending to turn towards Rudi, in a tremble.
"I think you've forgotten"
Add it again later.
"May I hug Brother for a moment? just bang, just once"
Suddenly with a handful of courage the girl asks Rudi, hoping that the man grant her last wish, giving up the longing for years not to meet.
"This once"
Pinta Dusk once again.
who was asked did not answer at all, chose silence for some time, lapse a few seconds later Rudi instead got out of his car quickly, he said, help Dusk open his car door and wait for the girl to get out of his car.
"Don't you?"
Dusk waiting for the man's answer, his voice trembled while holding back the longing, he was about to jump into the man's arms, but he tried to hold all the feelings in his thundered heart.
Dusk tried to stare at the man's face before him, hoping that if Rudi would raise his head and stare at him, allowing him to just hug and let go of his longing, once, but instead of doing that, Rudi said.
"When you've been waiting for me Miss"
the man said as he lowered his head, so deeply and respectfully, as if the man's words and manner of declaring this were no longer possible between them.
Rudi put up the highest fortress among them.
"Don't you?"
Seeing this for a moment something piled up in the matan Dusk ball, for the sake of Allah he wanted to drop his tears that were held back, crying roared and sobbing in front of the man.
The man shook his head for a moment and then lowered his head again.
Dusk was about to speak but suddenly Aunt Rodiah emerged from the front door, moved closer to them and helped Dusk to bring some souvenirs from his mother-in-law's house.
He looked at Rudi who now raised his head, not looking at him at all but moved quickly back into the car driven by the man.
Dusk can only stare at the man's face for some time, do not be asked how he feels at this time.
Sick?!.
Sure oes.
Can she cry now? he did not have the courage and strength to do so.
let alone crying, even laughing feels difficult.
That far the distance that stretches between us now bang? you and I are like strangers who don't know each other.
Some say, families like strangers and strangers are like brothers, but that doesn't apply to us.
From any angle we are still strangers who are not allowed to know each other.
"Non?"
aunt Rodiah stared at Dusk, she was worried because the girl's eyeballs immediately let out tears.
A split second later suddenly Dusk's cry broke out, he sobbed sobbing sobbing in a standing position, staring at Rudi's car which slowly disappeared before him.
"Non?"
Aunt Rodiah looked confused, trying to hug Dusk with a million question marks.
"Mrkkkk"
The girl called out her father's words, as if they were the only names she could throw out from behind her full lips today in front of the old lady before her.
